What attributes can I use to specify the capability of a candidate to assume the role of the succession plan?

You use these attributes to specify the capability of candidates of a succession plan for assuming the plan role:

• Readiness: Indicate how soon the person can take up the job or position of the plan or the incumbent’s role.
• Ranking: Rank the candidates to indicate who is the most capable and who is the least. You can rank candidates across the entire plan, or you can rank candidates within a readiness category. You can have multiple candidates with the same ranking across readiness categories.
• Interim Successor: Select a candidate who can perform the duties of the incumbent or assume the job or position until an actual successor is identified.
